Sampling Design for
International Surveys in

Guide to the PISA Data Analysis Manual
Why drawing a sample, but not a census
• Finite versus Infinite
– Most human populations can be listed but other types of
populations (e.g. mosquitoes) cannot; however their sizes
can be estimated from sample
• If a sample from a finite population is drawn from a finite
population with replacement, then the population is
assimilated to an infinite population
• Costs of a census
• Time to collect, code or mark, enter the data into electronic files
and analyze the data
• Delaying the publication of the results, delay incompatible with
the request of the survey sponsor
• The census will not necessarily bring additional information
What is a simple random sample
(SRS)?
• Let us assume a population of N cases.
• To draw a simple random sample of n
cases:
– Each individual must have a non zero
probability of selection (coverage, exclusion);
– All individuals must have the same probability
of selection, i.e. a equi-probabilistic sample
and self-weighted sample
– Cases are drawn independently each others
What is a simple random sample (SRS)?
• SRS is assumed by most statistical software packages
(SAS, SPSS, Statistica, Stata, R…) for the computation of
standard errors (SE);
• If the assumption is not correct (i.e. cases were not
drawn according to a SRS design)
– estimates of SE will be biased;
– therefore P values and inferences will be incorrect
– In most cases, null hypothesis will be rejected while it
should have been accepted
How to draw a simple random sample
• There are several ways to draw a SRS:
– The N members of the population are numbered and n
of them are selected by random numbers, without
replacement; or
– N numbered discs are placed in a container, mixed
well, and n of them are randomly selected; or
– The N population members are arranged in a random
order, and every N/n member is then selected or the
first n individuals are selected.
Criteria for differentiating samples
• Randomness : use of inferential statistics
– Probabilistic sample
– Non-probabilistic sample
• Convenience sample, quota sample
• Single-stage versus multi-stage samples
– Direct or indirect draws of population members
• Selection of schools, then classes, then students
Criteria for differentiating samples
• Probability of selection
– Equiprobabilistic samples
– Samples with varying probabilities
• Selection of farms according to the livestock size
• Selection of schools according to the enrolment
figures (PPS: Probability Proportional to Size)
• Stratification
– Explicit stratification ≈ dividing the population into
different subpopulations and drawing independent
samples within each stratum
Criteria for differentiating samples
• Stratification
– Explicit stratification
– Implicit stratification ≈ sorting the data according to
one or several criteria and then applying a systematic
sampling procedure
• Estimating the average weight of a group of
students
– sorting students according to their height
– Defining the sampling interval (N/n)
– Selecting every (N/n)th students
Criteria for designing a sample in education
• The target population (population of inference): a single
grade cohort (IEA studies) versus age cohort, typically a
twelve-month span (PISA)
– Grade cohort
• In a particular country, meaningful for policy makers
and easy to define the population and to sample it
• How to define at the international level grades that
are comparable?
– Average age
– Educational reform that impact on age average

TIMSS grade 8 : Change in performance between 1995 and 2003
Extract from the J.E. Gustafsson in Loveless, T (2007)
Criteria for designing a sample in education
– Age cohort
• Same average age, same one year age span
• Varying grades
• Not so interesting at the national level for policy
makers
• Administration difficulties
• Difficulties for building the school frame
Criteria for designing a sample in education
• Multi-stage sample
– Grade population
• Selection of schools
• Selection of classes versus students of the target
grade
– Student sample more efficient but impossible
to link student data with teacher / class data,
– Age population
• Selection of schools and then selection of students
across classes and across grades

Criteria for designing a sample in education
• What is the best representative sample:
– 100 schools and 10 students per school; OR
– 20 schools and 50 students per school?
• Systems with very low school variance
– Each school ≈ SRS
– Equally accurate for student level estimates
– Not equally accurate for school level estimates
• In Belgium, about 60 % of the variance lies between schools:
– Each school is representative of a narrow part of the
population only
– Better to sample 100 schools, even for student level
estimates
Criteria for designing a sample in education
• Data collection procedures
– Test Administrators
• External
• Internal
– Online data collection procedures
• Cost of the survey
• Accuracy
– IEA studies: effective sample size of 400 students
– Maximizing accuracy with stratification variables

How to draw a Multi-Stage Sample : PPS
& SRS
• Several steps
– 1. Data cleaning of school sample frame;
– 2. Selection of stratification variables;
– 3. Computation of the school sample size per explicit
stratum;
– 4. Selection of the school sample.
How to draw a Multi-Stage Sample : PPS
& SRS
• Step 1:data cleaning:
– Missing data
• School ID
• Stratification variables
• Measure of size
– Duplicate school ID
– Plausibility of the measure of size:
• Age, grade or total enrolment
• Outliers (+/- 3 STD)
• Gender distribution …
How to draw a Multi-Stage Sample : PPS
& SRS
• Step 2: selection of stratification variables
– Improving the accuracy of the population estimates
• Selection of variables that highly correlate with the
survey main measures, i.e. achievement
– % of over-aged students (Belgium)
– School type (Gymnasium, Gesantschule,
Realschule, Haptschule)
– Reporting results by subnational level
• Provinces, states, Landers
• Tracks
• Linguistics entities
How to draw a Multi-Stage Sample : PPS
& SRS
• Step 3: computation of the school sample size for each
explicit stratum
– Proportional to the number of
• students
• schools

How to draw a Multi-Stage Sample : PPS

• Step 4: selection of schools
– Distributing as many lottery tickets as students per
school and then SRS of n tickets
• A school can be drawn more than once
• Important sampling variability for the sum of school
weights
– From 6.97 to 25.67 in the example

How to draw a Multi-Stage Sample : PPS
& SRS
• Step 4: selection of schools
– Use of a systematic procedure for minimizing the
sampling variability of the school weights
• Sorting schools by size
• Computation of a school sampling interval
• Drawing a random number from a uniform
distribution [0,1]
• Application of a systematic procedure
– Impossibility of selecting the nsc smallest
schools or the nsc biggest schools
